This is a great thing for Gran Turismo...now they can avoid worrying about being the video game that has 1,000+ cars, when most of them are lower quality graphics, and they don't put the effort into making them high quality models.

They can strip down to a more pure "Racing" simulator and focus on other things.

I'm just quoting myself to re-iterate that my thoughts have not changed

I'm kinda bummed that the first PS4 GT isn't a normal GT. Never had a PS3, and I've been waiting since launch day for one on the PS4. Guess I'll be waiting a little longer to play a normal GT game again.

"It's required that in order to do an open beta we have to create a proper master for it, and considering the release timing that we announced, we decided that we just don't have enough time to do two gold masters for the game," Yamauchi explained in an interview. "By omitting that, it saves us about three months of time."

It's not a "full" Gran Turismo, they said that GT7 is also being worked on. This is a game meant more for those that enjoy online racing, versus GT7 will be more for those that enjoy playing by themselves or in person.

The audio is vastly improved from previous GT titles too, finally ditching the synthesized engine noise used in previous GT titles in favor of each vehicle's actual recorded soundtrack.

In fact, as a testament to just how realistic the experience is, Gran Turismo Sport players will be able to qualify for FIA-certified motorsport licenses within the game – licenses that can be used to participate in real-world, wheel-to-wheel racing events.
